Thank you everyone for braving the rain to attend the Saigon Tweetup and networking event!

2 days after the event, I was stuck in a taxi for 45mins (for a 5km journey) also because of a very wet Saigon night. I thought a lot about your effort during that 45mins ride and for that, BIG THANK YOU (!) again for coming. I hope you had walked away that night with new friends and business contacts.

 

Before we go to the pictures, I want to thank those very kind sponsors:

Xu Saigon – www.XuSaigon.com for hosting us, the canapés and their dinning vouchers for the lucky draw.

Anders – www.Expat.vn for buying the first 50 of us beers and helping to print those pretty drinks stands.

Peter – BellVietnam.com for the English pronunciation courses in the lucky draw.

Life Resorts – www.Life-Resorts.com for the 2 nights free stay in the lucky draw.

Also a shout out to my 2 unsung heroes Minh and Tyler for being the ‘Stickerman’. And to Mr. 191, Mads (coz he’s 191cm tall), for sharing these pretty pictures below.

It was Uyen’s birthday and I called her to the stage and we all sang her a birthday song. The pretty lady in grey to the left is Serene (@SereneYee).

From this point onwards, the pictures in black and white below were taken by me. If you want someone to take your event photos, you should obviously go look for Mads.
